      TP-Link is popular because of their cheap options while easy-to-setup for average joe families.

        Right, but I’m not seeing a reason that only the older routers would have these vulnerabilities. I’m guessing the base OS for all of them is quite similar.

          Well, they also don’t offer more than 2 updates on their proprietary software… so you can just categorise them as vintage or out of service like Apple especially for even older hardware that’s $20 or less like Tenda which is also another Chinese brand.
